I've had now work today because of the weather, and the snowplough has just past for the fourth time - and I live on an A road. The sun isn't visible or indeed anything further than I think 500m. Been playing on the island and trying to get github to work for most of the day. What are other people doing? Anyone snowed in completely? Or enjoying glorious sunshine (Apparently, Britain is the coldest place in the world at the moment)?

Enjoying Glorious sunshine here. Up to 40C (That's just more than a hundred for those with a *shudder* different system).

But then again, living in a desert does not allow cold weather enough for snow. humidity doesn't help either.

And even then, there's strong wind to prevent people from not* wearing heavy cloths.

Unless you're in Antarctica. Then the weather isn't warm enough for snow. It doesn't make common sense.

I'm a Scot, so kind of not allowed to complain about the cold when living "down south" but even I'm struggling to be scathing at the moment. not just numb feet but numb legs. made walking home from lectures a bit tricky.

Same here, the walk to school was ghastly. I had to walk for 5 miles through 3 feet of snow in shorts and uphill both ways. And tomorrow? I have to do it again!

......you get to wear shorts? All they let me wear is a nose-warmer.


Thank you.

You went to Sheila's and bought a Mr Noseybonk mask instead of the Panties? Wow, that's an interesting decision.

I'm also by a desert - Kalahari - right now. Snapped this pic in the car driving to site last week.

Storm clouds are gathering, it's rainy season, so today was a bit cooler - 36C

Hail fellow Yorkshireman! I'm in north. More snow forecast for tomorrow, then ice, then more snow. All because of La Nina, which gets to its worst in December/January. The roads are covered again within a few hours of being gritted and snowploughed. At least the shops are still open, with some supplies, but for the future...

It make perfect sense that it can be too cold for snow. The best temperatures for snow is between -10 to 0 celsius which is the highest temperatures that the outer parts of Antarctica can get. However, it all depends on how cold the air is in the atmosphere and how much moisture is in it.

It's below freezing outside and the heating's been gone for a while. Still waiting to get that one sorted out.
I now know how long it takes to heat a small room using hairdryer.

*coughs*

It's... summer... this side of the world...

I'm slathering sunblock on all my children. All twenty of them. And it's baking outside. Well, not at the moment, because it's nighttime, but daytime the skies are so bare and so blue and so hot it's mad. Maybe not Kalahari-hot or any-equatorial-tropical-country hot, but it's still BEACH WEATHER, and New Zealand loves it. Everyone gets festive and lazy and delicious around summer in this country.

I'ma go kayaking tomorrow, or Saturday. And jump into the harbour. S'too glorious not to.

I would like to file an official motion of ""Fuck you, you warm-weathered bastards"" against you lot, but it's to cold to go out more than absolutely nessecary.

So, yeah, its actually not thát cold here in holland, but my house is so craky and drafty i probably could just leave the fridge stuff out on the counter, and shut the thing down, wouldn't make a difference.

At least, that's what the cat said, looking at the chicken legs i just stashed in there.
